Rename "Heavy Wing"
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

"Heavy Wing" has been the code name for the ML infrastructure currently under development. It was named because Chris was watching Darkwing Ducks and needed a name quickly. However, we can probably do better.

Requirements for a name:

  • No offensive, militaristic, etc.
  • Uncommon word or phrase so that mentions on the internet can be discovered.

Some ideas:

Inselberg - 751,000 Google results - an isolated hill or mountain rising abruptly from a plain.
knickpoint - 188,000 Google results - part of a river or channel where there is a sharp change in channel slope
orihon - 54,300 Google results - a strip of paper, papyrus, or vellum that is accordion-folded so as to divide the writing

Event Timeline

@LarsWirzenius had the idea of random Swedish or english words:

cat /usr/share/dict/swedish | grep -v '[öåä]' | while read word; do echo "$RANDOM $word"; done | sort -n | tail -n3

"rock wing" - 40,500 - no meaning

I kinda like Lift Wing. It keeps the idea of a the platform being a "wing" for models while invoking the concept of Model Lift.

Lift Wing it is. Closing task.
